Yoshiyama Corporation

On 3 January 2009, Kato founded the Yoshiyama Corporation in Kinki. As General Manager, he also established the corporation's first subsidiary company, the Kuruwa Lottery shortly after. The company experienced limited commercial success because of the economic crisis Japan was facing at the time. The lottery company was eventually forced to shut down even before its first draw.

Yoshiyama bought a Q2 iron company in Asturias, Spain, and named it Kuruwa Mining. In less than month, the company experienced financial hardship and was sold to another organization.

Political career

Kato joined The Bushido Party in late December and has since then published articles discussing political issues. On 17 January 2009, Kato officially declared his desire to run for congress. Along with his platform to call for a higher minimum wage and stronger diplomatic relations with foreign nations, he promised to donate 5 GOLD to the government treasury if elected.

His campaign was a success as he was elected without a wild card spot. He was the second most popular candidate in Hokkaido after experienced congressman Al Dente. Soon following getting elected, Kato donated the 5 GOLD he promised to donate before the elections to the treasury.
